ok suggestion 1: Fully integrate the main page and the forum.

This is done seamlessly at popular news and forum site macrumors.com. It really works to get people reading more news stories, seeing topics are popular, and getting them to feedback/join the forum and thus create more interest in the site. More clicks. Ad revenue comes in for both.

Each news story ends with a comments link:


The link takes you to the news stories forum thread, where people can read comments, join in, sign up etc. This thread is automatically created by a forum bot when the new story is published. very simple.


All the news story threads are collected in a 'News Discussion' section of the forum. Users can browse this way if they're not keeping up with the main page. Every comment is added to the count on the main news site, and generates interest in the news item and the forum. its a win win.

Don Seer:
there is potential for that as the forum will be in the same server as dubcnn post migrate - meaning it can use the database (first of which is the vault upgrade thats been mentioned)

good idea for another phase on the dubcnn side :)
(i like it because i possibly won't have to do too much!)
